Mr. Adams Goes to Washington

I love how the headlines on this site have a different slant than the “regular” baseball media. For example, the title on mlb.com is “Angels Acquire Espinosa from Nationals” with the subtitle “Pitching Prospects McGowin, Adams Headed for Washington.”

Adams has a sick arsenal, equipped with a four-seam fastball, curveball, slider, and changeup. His fastball sits primarily in the 92-95 MPH range, and has good cutting movement to it, which allows him to attack left-handed bats, and pitch away from right-handed bats.

Ward went on to admit, though, that Adams has some trouble in the “control department.”

It’s a little bit odd that the Angels traded Austin, as they had added him to the 40-man roster just a few days ago. Anyway, we’ll see how Austin fares in the Nationals’ system. Maybe he’ll be appearing in Washington in 2017!
